Investigating Tilt-based Gesture Keyboard Entry for Single-Handed Text Entry on Large Devices

Explore a novel tilt-based text entry technique for single-handed use on large mobile devices in this conference talk from the ACM CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems. Discover how this innovative approach, based on the gesture keyboard concept, allows users to input text by tilting their device instead of drawing gestures with a finger or stylus. Learn about the study's findings, including novice users achieving 15 words-per-minute after minimal practice and a pilot participant reaching 32 words-per-minute after 90 minutes of practice. Gain insights into the potential of this method as an alternative to traditional single-handed typing in specific situations, especially when one hand is unavailable or encumbered.
